No, that would be horrible. The only point of changign the numbering would 
be to make the numbers smaller. Not fewer. I don't like "26" much as a 
version number, I'd like "131" even less.

So I'd much rather have something like "2.9.1" than "27", just because 
it's a hierarchy of simpler numbers.
